Fast Car

[Verse 1]

You got a fast car

I want a ticket to anywhere

Maybe we can make a deal

Maybe together we can get somewhere

Any place is better

Startin' from zero, got nothin’ to lose

Maybe we'll make somethin'

Me, myself, I got nothin’ to prove, hey

[Refrain]

Gonna be someone, get somewhere, babe

[Verse 2]

And you got a fast car

I've got a plan that'll get us outta here

Been workin' at the convenience store

I managed to save just a little bit of money

And we don't have to drive too far

Just cross the border and into the city

You and I can both get job

Finally see what it means to be livin'

[Refrain]

I wanna be someone and get somewhere, don't you?

[Verse 3]

See, my old man's got a problem

He lives with the bottle, that’s the way it is

He say his body’s too old for workin'

I say his body’s too young to look like his

My mama went off and left him

She wanted more from life than what he could give

Said, somebody's gotta take care of him

So I quit school, it's what I did

[Pre-Chorus]

And you got a fast car

Is it fast enough that we can fly away?

We gotta make a decision

To leave tonight or live and die this way

Live and die this way, yeah

[Chorus]

Remember when we were drivin', drivin’ in your car

Speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk

And the city lights lit up before us

And your arms good and nice wrapped around my shoulder

And I-I had a feelin' that I belonged

And I-I had a feelin' I could be someone, be someone, be someone

[Refrain]

Be someone and get somewhere

[Verse 4]

You got a fast car

We go cruisin', entertain ourselves

Still ain't got a job

And I work at the market as a checkout boy

I know things'll get better

You'll find work and I'll get promoted

We'll move out of the shelter

Buy a bigger house and live in the suburbs

[Refrain]

I wanna someone and get somewhere with you

[Chorus]

Remember when we were drivin', drivin' in your car

Speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk

And the city lights lit up before us

And your arm good and nice wrapped around my shoulder

And I-I had a feelin' that I belonged

And I-I had a feelin' I could be someone, be someone, be someone

[Verse 5]

So you got a fast car

You got a fast car

Yes, you got a fast car

And I've got a job pays all our bills

You stay out drinkin' late at the bars

See more of your friends than you do your kids

I'd always hoped for better

That maybe together you and me' find it

Ain't got no plans, I ain't goin' nowhere

So take your fast car and keep on drivin'

[Refrain]

Just wanna be someone and get somewhere, baby

[Pre-Chorus]

So you got a fast car

But is it fast enough that we could fly away?

You gotta make a decision

To leave tonight or live and die this way

[Refrain]

You wanna be someone and get somewhere

[Chorus]

Remember when we were drivin', drivin' in your car

Speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk

And the city lights lit up before us

And your arm good and nice wrapped around my shoulder

And I-I had a feelin' that I belonged

And I-I had a feelin' I could be someone, be someone, be someone, yeah
